What about a Lunula?

myerst2 · 02/19/2008, 07:14 PM

I have the chance to get a small Lunula. I don't know anything about them. Information on them seems to be very little if not non-existent. Anyone have one or have had one? How big do they get, aggression, etc, etc? Anyone have pics of them in captivity? Thanks for any input. Regards, Tim

do you mean Chaetodon lunula? which is a Raccoon Butterfly. If so, then there is tons of information on the internet about them.

Or do you mean Rhinecanthus lunula, a rather rare fish. I'd assume it has the same care requirements as others in that genus (picasso), but have no first hand experience...

Sorry stupid me. Talking about the trigger from down under. Anyone have one? Thanks, Tim

Had one. Pretty much the same as a picasso, just different looking. Assasi is about the same too.
